Welcome to the CT State Compliance Office page. The Office of Compliance serves as the central coordinating office for meeting state and federal legal and regulatory requirements including adherence to the State Code of Ethics. We work with compliance partners across the institution to identify compliance risks, communicate and provide training on compliance requirements, and advance awareness and best practices.

Examples of compliance areas include environmental health and safety, information security, conflict of interest and ethics, human resources, financial aid, non-discrimination, equity and diversity, financial management, immigration, research, and more!
